It is proposed to amend the authorized share capital of the Company in article 3.1.1. of the Company's articles of association. The current authorized share capital of the Company allows for the issuance of a maximum of 31,195,000 shares. As a result of, inter alia, share issuances and employee grants, approximately 13.1 million authorized shares are available for future purposes. To create further flexibility for the Company to raise capital, it is proposed to increase the authorized share capital to 75,000,000 shares, or EUR 7,500,000, as reflected in the deed of amendment of the Company’s articles of association. This will allow the Company to have the flexibility to execute its long-term strategy. Together with the share issue proposals under agenda item 9, below, this will bring the Company’s ability to raise capital in line with U.S. peer companies. |
